Additional information

District Judge, Naha District Court, Okinawa, Japan. I have sought to explain in this paper the outline of the revised Code of Civil Procedure of Japan. I am not sure that I am the proper person to introduce the procedures relating to civil trials in Japan to readers among whom many will be familiar with the English legal system. But I have taken up the pen, hoping to repay even one hundredth of the kindness rendered to me by my English hosts, the British Council and all those I met, including Judge Campbell at Liverpool, while I had the opportunity to observe for a year—a year or two ago—civil procedure in England.
